About The Position

AI agents are rapidly becoming foundational across industries, transforming how organizations automate workflows, make decisions, and scale productivity. Unlike traditional prompt based systems, modern agents can reason, plan, and execute actions autonomously unlocking new business scenarios and operational efficiencies. By 2028, more than 1.3 billion agents are expected to be in active use worldwide, creating not only unprecedented opportunities but also a massive new ecosystem that organizations must govern, monitor, and secure.
Agent 365 is Microsoft’s unified control plane for AI agents—providing a comprehensive platform for agent registry, lifecycle management, access governance, observability, interoperability, and security. The Agent 365 Security, Policy & Tool Gateway Team builds the tooling, infrastructure, and evaluation systems that empower agents to perform reliably at scale.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team to develop modern, high scale, and inclusive endtoend experiences that empower agent admins to govern security, policy and tools effectively. If you thrive on building intuitive, performant user interfaces and robust, scalable services, and you enjoy collaborating with engineers, designers, and researchers to bring ideas to life, this is the role for you.
In this position, you’ll work across the stack with a balanced focus on frontend and backend development. You’ll design, build, and operate features that power Agent 365 security, policies and tools. Your work will shape how agents can operate securely in enterprise environments with AIdriven tools, enabling intelligent workflows, actionable insights, and seamless integrations at scale.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
